DICOM Detective

DICOM Detective is a DICOM protocol analysis and simulation software tool dedicated to PACS maintenance people, DICOM servicemen, programmers, consultants, radiologists and other people working with DICOM networks.

Using the DICOM Detective, PACS maintenance people and DICOM servicemen can analyze DICOM communication problem online immediately and DICOM programmers can simulate DICOM communication offline and trace and debug their program without traveling onsite.

DICOM Detective is also a great tool for DICOM beginners to learn the detail of DICOM. Just capture a DICOM communication and open it with DICOM detective, and you will know what the DICOM is and how simple it is.

The most powerful DICOM Detective Enterprise 2.00 is now released with following new features (additional features to DICOM Detective (Base)).

DICOM Detective is now available in U3 format, ready to be integrated to any U3-compatible USB key. With DICOM Detective U3, users of DICOM Detective can do DICOM troubleshooting on any computer. The latest stable version 1.13 U3 has all the features of regular version 1.15

U3 is a company producing a proprietary method of launching Windows applications from special USB flash drives. To learn more about U3, click here.

Main Features

Simulate the DICOM communication to trace and debug the program.

DICOM Anonymizer&Masker

In many cases, prior to publishing (for instance, on the Web) or distributing in any way DICOM files containing medical images of interest, it is necessary to remove all personal identifying information from those files, that is, to anonymize them.

DICOM Anonymizer&Masker allows removing from DICOM files all information that may jeopardize patient's or physicians' privacy.

This information, embedded into the DICOM file along with the actual image(s) or even burned in the actual image(s) and overlay(s), includes the patient's name, the patient's date of birth, the patient's address, the names of all the physicians that have been involved in the process of generation of the DICOM file, the dates of acceptance and of performance of the exams, and so on.

The Graphical User Interface of the DICOM Anonymizer&Masker allows:

choosing which Data Elements to anonymize.

choosing how to anonymize Data Elements. Different anonymization patterns available for different Value Representations.

defining which region of images and/or overlays to anonymize and how to anonymize.

The DICOM Anonymizer&Masker is able to anonymize both single DICOM files and full directory trees with DICOMDIR and subdirectories. While anonymizing directory, it keeps all the anonymized Data Elements in the DICOM files and DICOMDIR consistent so that user can still review the bunch of anonymized DICOM files as a whole. While anonymizing directory, it can also anonymize file names and/or folder names, and keeps the DICOMDIR cosistent.

The DICOM Anonymizer&Masker may also be executed in Command-line Mode, thus allowing an easy integration with existing applications and software procedures.

PACS Health Monitor

One of the fundamental jobs of a PACS administrator is networking monitoring. Networking monitoring is the process of checking the modalities, servers and workstations that comprise a PACS network. This examination allows a PACS administrator to maintain a robust PACS network and even to improve upon the PACS network.

You never know when a power supply is going to burn out, when a server is going to crash, when network bandwidth drops or when your LAN is hacked.

However, even through you do not know when these events will occur, you can be prepared for them. The PACS Health Monitor is an important assistant of PACS administrator. It will alert you the moment that a situation arises so that you can respond to it immediately and minimize down-time. While PACS Health Monitor can provide information about problems, it can also provide information about improving the network. The PACS Health Monitor will allow you to generate log files and performance charts that detail your system's capabilities and responses.

The PACS Health Monitor is a lightweight software tool that monitoring the connectivity and performance of modalities, servers and workstations in the PACS network. The basic mechanism of The PACS Health Monitor is that it pings and DICOM verifies the DICOM hosts and applications over the PACS network periodically to measure, record and report the connectivity and performance. To use the PACS Health Monitor, you need not additional modification/configuration to the DICOM hosts and applications. You just run the PACS Health Monitor in a PC that belongs to the PACS network, and it will measure, record and report the connectivity and performance for you automatically.
